=Digestive Disorders=


 * Digestive Disorders**

__Condition__: Watery bowel movements once or twice a year. This change from the usual pattern of stools is recognized as [|diarrhea], although many less "formal" names are sometimes used.
 * Diarrhea**

__Cure__: A hundred or more different diseases can be associated with [|diarrhea]. Fortunately, most of the severe causes are rare and the most common form is the one that affects most of us for a few days each year. It is due to a simple infection, usually caused by a virus. Bacterial infections can cause more serious cases of diarrhea as a result of eating contaminated food or drinks ([|food poisoning]). Common bacteria are campylobacter, salmonellae, and [|shigella] organisms; less common are Escherichia coli (E coli), yersinial, listerial, and cryptosporidial bacteria. These can cause fairly severe diarrhea with vomiting, abdominal cramping and fever. The more serious causes include ulcerative colitis (when blood is usually present in the stools), regional ileitis ([|Crohn's disease]), some forms of intestinal cancer (when pain and weight loss might also be present), and some disorders of the intestine that lead to poor digestion of food. "Nervous diarrhea," in its more severe form a component of [|irritable bowel syndrome] (IBS), is very common and often shows up briefly when we face the [|stress] of a term paper or a job interview. However, some people suffer nervous stress fairly constantly and may have continuous diarrhea because of it. = =
